Contingency Planning• Incorporated numerous lessons learned from
Deepwater Horizon and other recent responses• Heavy external outreach with federal partners• Collaboration with State, local, industry and
academia • Added appendix to Regional Response Plans
dealing with international sources• Completely revised Area Contingency Plan (local
plans), Geographic Response Plans and Inlet Protection Plans
• Developed Offshore Response Plan to address nuances from uncontained source of pollution

Offshore Response Plan
Creates command structure to direct offshore activities including:
• Dispersant & in situ burn ops• Physical recovery ops• OSRO ops coordination• Air ops coordination• Control of Commercial/Recreational vessel
movements • International engagement
Tabletop Exercise was held November 2011

International Engagement
• Cartagena Convention (1983)
• International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response & Co-operation Plan (OPRC 1990)
• The 1980 Joint Contingency Plan Between the United States and Mexico Regarding Pollution of the Marine Environment (MEXUS Plan)
• Conducting multi-lateral discussions with Mexico, Jamaica, Bahamas, Cuba, U.S., and other Caribbean nations contemplating offshore oil and gas exploration
• Focus of discussions on prevention, planning and response to offshore drilling
